AlyzaCCC: A. Select the correct word and translate.
AlyzaCCC: we did 1-3 in class

* Dawn is confused on #4
Greg3: Morah
Greg3: Teacher (f)
AlyzaCCC: okay, good, and the complete sentance means?
Greg3: complete sentence? What am I missing?
AlyzaCCC: Dawn, basically, the exercise asks you whether you need moreh (witha sEHgol) or morah (with a kAHmatz)
AlyzaCCC: the first word is אמא
Dawn: ohhh...i c!
Dawn: o/
Greg3: Eemah Morah - Are you a teacher (F)?
AlyzaCCC: yes, Dawn?
Dawn: oh...I thought it said Mom is a teacher?
AlyzaCCC: there is no question mark, Greg, so just "mom is a teacher"
AlyzaCCC: as Dawn just said
Greg3: I got it wrong - missed the word
Greg3: thanks
AlyzaCCC: no problem, that is why we do this together
Dawn: :)
AlyzaCCC: B. Make up sentances by combining a word from column A with a word from column B
AlyzaCCC: and translate your sentence.
AlyzaCCC: A
AlyzaCCC: אל התא (1 איה (2 (Matti, an name of a boy) יתמ (3 אל תא (4
AlyzaCCC: אמא (1 דימלת (2 הרומ (3 הדימלת (4 שיא (5
AlyzaCCC: the second list is column B
AlyzaCCC: I want everyone to use column a and b to make sentances
AlyzaCCC: please do not repeat sentances others have used
AlyzaCCC: Dave, can you start us off?
DaveS: Ahhh. Still reading the instructions...
Ruth: lol
AlyzaCCC: we will wait :-)
Greg3: !
AlyzaCCC: yes Greg? You have one?
Greg3: No - I am sorry to be slow tonite, but I don't understand - we are to choose one word from each column? or what?
DaveS: !יתמ הרומ אל תא
AlyzaCCC: yes, for example: from column a, choose אל תא and then choose something from B that makes a sentence
AlyzaCCC: well, leave off יתמ and you have a sentance
DaveS: הרומ אל תא
Ruth: הרומ אל התא ahtah lo morah you (f) are not the teacher.
Ruth: oops
Ruth: Sorry, I was waiting and pushed the enter key...sorry.
Greg3: אמא אל התא יתמ
AlyzaCCC: no problem, Ruth
AlyzaCCC: there is an error, however, in your translation
AlyzaCCC: it is masculine
AlyzaCCC: התא is you masculine
AlyzaCCC: Great sentace, Greg
Greg3: :-)
AlyzaCCC: let me state the directions and words again
AlyzaCCC: since they have gone off the screen
AlyzaCCC: B. Make up sentances by combining a word or phrase from column A with a word from
AlyzaCCC: column B and translate your sentence.

AlyzaCCC: after your 1 sentance, please
Dawn: In Hebrew, please, Dave:)
AlyzaCCC: lol, Dawn
Dawn: ?
AlyzaCCC: yes Dawn?
DaveS: הרומ יתמ לש אמאת
Dawn: Alyza...on part C of the homework, do you want us to write out the Hebrew or just write the sentence in Hebrew and English?
AlyzaCCC: אמאת should be אמאה
AlyzaCCC: but other than that, it is a good sentence
AlyzaCCC: C. Use each word in a sentence and translate the sentence into English.
Greg3: Would that be "The Mom of Matti is a teacher (f)" ?
AlyzaCCC: okay, this means that you use the Hebrew word in a Hebrew sentence, and then translate it into English
AlyzaCCC: okay?
Dawn: k...:)
Greg3: ok
DaveS: Okay
AlyzaCCC: nachon, Greg, good translation of Dave's sentence
AlyzaCCC: (Dena, a girl's name) הניד (1

AlyzaCCC: then you cannot type
Dawn: Don't take the laptop, Dave:)
DaveS: Hummm. That sounds logical.
AlyzaCCC: Good, Dawn
AlyzaCCC: anything else הניד can be?

AlyzaCCC: now, what does it mean, Dave?
AlyzaCCC: Good, Dawn :-)
DaveS: Moshe, I am not Di's teacher.
AlyzaCCC: lol, I have never called my sister Di. Of course, she does not go by her Hebrew name anyhow....
